    I heard last week that the physics teacher of the daughter of one of my colleagues told the daughter that girls who do their nails don’t do physics. Sigh.

    So, here are the nails of an internationally leading particle physics professor. My nails.

    Don’t believe the gatekeepers! #womeninSTEM

      You have to break out the two parts to mathematics: applied and theoretical

      @GhostOnTheHalfShell @afewbugs or the ten kinds of physics... haha, it's academia, everyone claims they're a singular diamond that created a new sub-sub-subdiscipline. If only because that's how you get funding .

          I'm no particle physicist, but I'm fairly sure you're supposed to keep your hands away from the beam.

                    When I read “photonics” my first thought was the snarky holographic doctor on Star Trek. 😆 Lasers are fun too, though!

                                    @freyablekman The teacher mentioned a correlation, you’re suggesting causation, which wasn’t claimed. The teacher said "girls" and obviously meant "many girls among his students", which you misunderstandood as "all female persons anywhere". As a leading scientist you should know better.

                                      My nails are not as shiny as yours, but hey - with polish 😁
                                      (And I am "only" assistant professor, so still have time to ramp up my nail polishing skills before I become a full professor!)

                                          I heard last week that the physics teacher of the daughter of one of my colleagues told the daughter that girls who do their nails don’t do physics. Sigh.

                                          So, here are the nails of an internationally leading particle physics professor. My nails.

                                          Don’t believe the gatekeepers! #womeninSTEM

                                          @freyablekman beautiful 😍.
                                          Like Galaxis.

                                          And what a dump teacher.
